Separated by just one point after eight games, Newcastle United and Everton meet at St James' Park looking to inject momentum into their campaigns.
Newcastle sit eighth on 11 points after eight matches, having made a steady start to the campaign despite a difficult recent run. The Magpies have won just one of their last five matches in all competitions, falling 1-0 at home to Aston Villa in their last league outing before a 3-1 midweek cup defeat against the Toffees.
Everton sit 11th on 10 points after eight games, having hit a slight stumbling block in the league following back-to-back 2-0 defeats against Chelsea and Arsenal. However, their 3-1 win over Newcastle in the Carabao Cup just days ago will give them confidence as they return to league action.
